Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, tables C16001, B01003 and B19013. Speaking Spanish at home isn't the same as being Hispanic. Tucson ranks number 23 by speakers among the 118 cities of 100,000 or more that clear 20%.
Tucson sits an hour from Nogales, and its history with Sonora shows in the food, the neighborhoods and the families. It is home to the University of Arizona and was named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, something many food businesses still don't use when they tell their story.
South Tucson and Barrio Viejo have strong identities. Also look at the southwest side, where many Hispanic families live.
In Tucson, Spanish speakers are an important group but not the whole market. Start with the services and neighborhoods where people already call you in Spanish, track the inquiries and expand when you see a response.
Only 29.2% of Spanish speakers here say they speak English less than "very well". Your ad could work in either language, so test both and let the numbers decide.
Share where your recipes and ingredients come from, and use the city's food recognition on your website and social media.
Say clearly how to get there from Nogales, where to park and which payment methods you accept.
If you serve plants in Sonora and buyers in Arizona, a bilingual website lets you speak to both without running two brands.
